So far, I've managed to survive twenty-three years.

So what?

Not so what. NOT so what. I don't know if you've had any near death experiences, but lemme tell you, crashing into a tree at 60 mph did a hell of a lot for making me appreciate life. Even when it sucks, all I can think about is how fucking HAPPY I am to have survived that.

You're losing sight of yourself. Don't do that.

I pretty much agree with that. For me it was activey choosing to live when I had the option to just stop trying.

I'm not contradicting you, but here is my point: life is more than just effort. It's also finding the answer to the question of whether it is, or will be, worth the effort. That's the question that lies in "so what?", and that we don't always have an answer for.

Yeah...but not for long does this question go unanswered. Therein lies suicide my friend.

:-/ is it birthday time? did i miss it? happy birthday??!!!!

i would buy you a drink and bake you a cupcake...and probably do some witchy thing as well just to confuse you :D

ok, so i don't think it's your birthday, um so...i don't have anything philosophical to write to you. survival is one of the biggest parts of the human condition. some people choose not to, and to be honest i've learned a type of respect for that (although the pain of that choice will never leave me). however, i also have a great respect for survival of any type. i've survived a lot more than i would wish on anyone and a lot less than most people have to. a bunch of random thoughts really to respond to your "so what."

My birthday was Saturday. Thank you, both for your kind wishes and for your thoughts.

Thank you, sincerely.
